Apparent Weight & Lift

The mass of the lift is 200 kg, when it ascends with an acceleration of $4\text{ m/s}^{2}$ then the tension in the cable supporting the lift will be [Given: Acceleration due to gravity $g = 10\text{ m/s}^{2}$ ]

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Going up with $a$ : $T - mg = ma \Rightarrow T = m(g + a)$ .
$T = 200 \times (10 + 4) = 2800$ N
So the answer is (b) 2800 N.
